Re: VB script error in Cygwin

I usually write a CMD.EXE script that in turn, runs cscript and its *.vbs file.
Example:
The following lines are a cmd "batch" file called bar.cmd
@echo on
echo.This is "bar.cmd," a CMD.EXE script, which will be invoked by Cygwin
echo.Run a vbscript called "foo.vbs"
cscript foo.vbs
echo."foo.vbs" is complete
echo.Done, now exiting "bar.cmd"
exit
** First ** ---- run bar.cmd within a CMD.EXE window to be sure it and
foo.vbs are working properly outside of Cygwin.
** Second** ---- from within Cygwin's bash (or other) shell, run bar.cmd:
$ cmd /c bar.cmd
Watch for output or results from "foo.vbs" during the run.

There's no need to interject a needless additional process of cmd.exe.
You can call cscript directly without a problem:
Neptune:cat HelloWorld.vbs
option explicit
sub display (msg)
wscript.echo msg
end sub
display "Hello World from VBS!"
Neptune:cscript HelloWorld.vbs

Hello World from VBS!
